582.3When I'm inside youGREBO::GURUOnly losers take the busThu Jan 11 1990 23:4230
    
    Under the "Object of Desire" heading (in my NME anyway), I came first
    equal with Wendy James. It's not suprising really ... is it!
    
    Here's me logging in to finish what I had started when the Dickie and
    Dino Show gets their oar in before me and shows what street cred they
    have. 
    
    Well (Bruce), was it surprising that the outcome would have the Stone
    Roses at the top of the proverbial Christmas Tree, personally I can't
    believe that "Fools Gold" got best single, just because it was in the
    charts at the time when the poll persons were filling in their entries
    I think might have a lot to do with it. If anything "WFL" and/or "She
    Bangs the Milkman" should have got numero uno spot ... not forgetting 
    "Can't be Sure".
    
    As for the "Fashion" items, I must have some street cred cos I just
    bought a pair of Doc boots ... good to see something like Docs keeping
    up with the fashion trends. I believe that Docs should have an entry on
    their own.
    
    At the time of writing this I'm listening to the Family Cat Peel
    session ... these guys sound like the Teardrop Explodes (except
    better). 
    
    The reason I jabbering on like this could be to do with the bottle of
    Muscadet that I've just polished off ... drunk and in charge of a
    terminal, honest m'lud it was a genuine mistake!

    We think you should give Ed his money back! I'll never forgive you
    for nicking that personal name. We wanted to show how cool we were,"We
    watch SNUB TV, yeah , right On!"
